  1. Encapsulated silica colloidal particles using layer by-layer electrostatic self-assembly of polyelectrolytes and fluorescent dye Benjamin Holden Department of Biological Engineering, University of Arkansas, D. Patrick O’Neal, Ph. D. | Biomedical Engineering Department

  2. Nanoparticles for cancer therapy • Small >150 nm • Highly fluorescent • Compatible with drug delivery Benjamin Holden | Biological Engineering Department University of Arkansas

  3. Normal flow of particles Flow of particles thru Leaky Vasculature of Tumors Blood Supply Tumor Cells

  4. Nanoparticles with Encapsulated Tamoxifen Y. Lvov, in collaboration with V. Torchilin SEM Images: Tamoxifen nanoparticles of approximately (b) 122 and (c) 134 nm after 20 minute sonication in a polycation bath. Samples images are taken 48 hours after LbL process is complete.
